MIT Clean Energy Prize Audience Choice

As a part of the MIT Sloan Clean Energy Venture program I'm attending, I am just back from attending the final awards ceremony for the 2012 MIT Clean Energy Prize.

Here's Spindrift Energy, winners of the Audience Choice Award, hamming it up after the along ceremony, along with their check for $10,000. Spindrift Energy is an MIT startup helping to solve the world’s energy problems by way of their patent-pending wave energy device.

Earlier in the evening, Bill Joy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, and currently at the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, participated in a "fireside chat" that was streamed live on the Internet.

More later, as I have to get up early to get back to MIT Sloan early tomorrow for another day of the Clean Energy Ventures program.

Microsystems--

Glad you like the info.

Here's an update: Spindrift recently won a $95K California "Energy Innovation Small Grant"
(from the California Energy Commission) to build a prototype Spindrift Energy device:
